Annie Parody Nails Struggle-Filled Life as a Freelancer

Little Orphan Annie knew a thing or two about struggles, but she may have nothing on the modern-day freelancer. You know: not knowing when your next paycheck is coming, balancing your passions with having to work a side gig at a coffee shop, and constantly having your parents questions your life decisions, to name a few.

If you’ve ever been a writer, actor, or freelancer, or you’ve thought about leaving your full-time gig for the great unknown, you should probably watch this video. If for no other reason than this is one of the better Annie parodies we’ve seen.

Elliott Bell is The Muse's Director of Marketing. He is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, but opted for start-ups over 16-hour days as a line cook (for the better hours, of course). Previously, Elliott spent 6 years making Seamless.com into a nationally known brand, and 1 month as a culinary assistant on Iron Chef America. When he isn't Musing, he can be found playing tennis, making chicken stock, or understanding the meaning of rap lyrics on rapgenius.com.
